This track is a remix of the theme that plays during the first stage of ''Castlevania: Rondo of Blood'', albeit with many alterations. It combines aspects of the various remixes of the original track from throughout the ''Castlevania'' series. The overall format this remix follows is based on the ''Portrait of Ruin'' version, the opening riff is based on the ''Dracula X'' version, while the strings used for the main melody are very similar to the opening remix used in ''Castlevania 64''. The latter part of the track borrows from "Blood Relations" from ''Symphony of the Night'', which plays when Alucard fights the possessed Richter in Dracula's throne room.

Origin[edit]

This track is a remix of Leon Belmont's theme from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence. As with the original, the song is a hybrid between a realistic orchestra with a techno-style bass and drumline, as well as incorporating a female vocalist. A later segment of this track features a reprise of Dracula's theme from Super Castlevania IV. Initially, this played when Leon made it to the second floor of Pagoda of the Misty Moon.
